For Pain Patients, The Treatment Is Often As Debilitating As The Injury

Acute, chronic, traumatic or post-operative pain is a fact of life for many Americans and their employers: In a single year, pain will affect 100 million Americans,1 cost up to $300 billion,1 and result in 50 million days of lost work. And among those who suffer pain, 58% is chronic3 —lasting at least six months. It’s one of the leading reasons people seek health care, which means it’s one of the leading drivers of health care costs.

There is no shortage of methods to treat pain sufferers, but many of these carry a substantial price tag and health risks.

NSAIDS are not safe or effective for long-term use and may produce side effects such as ulcers and heart problems4

Muscle relaxants produce a substantial demotivating effect that may actually hinder a return to function5

Steroid injections carry a higher price tag and may weaken tissues7

Narcotics/opioids are physically and psychologically addicting,8 and prescriptions have increased fourfold over the past decade9

Often, multiple prescriptions are required to treat a single condition, costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month and increasing health risks

With opiate abuse and addiction on the rise, there’s never been a greater need for effective, non-pharmacologic pain relief.

Instead of promoting relief and recovery, narcotic pain relievers often result in:

More absences: Workers who received high doses of opioid painkillers stayed out of work three times longer than those with similar injuries who took lower doses10

Inflated costs: The cost of a workplace injury is nine times higher when a strong narcotic such as OxyContin is involved10

Lingering claims: Applicants with only one opioid prescription had a claims closure rate of 87%, but the claims closure rate steadily decreased when the number of opioid prescriptions increased11

WHAT SETS H-WAVE APART

THE H-WAVE DIFFERENCE

WHAT SETS H-WAVE APART

By providing a drug-free treatment option that delivers pain relief and facilitates recovery, Home H-Wave is a viable alternative to the traditional prescription medications that often fail to return patients to health and end up costing payors hundreds of millions of dollars a year.

THE H-WAVE DIFFERENCE

Will not cause demotivating factors such as depression or drop in energy levels

Unlike TENS, H-Wave continues to deliver benefits even after treatment

Active Rehabilitation to Unblock the Pathway to Recovery

Mode 2: HIGH FREQUENCY

Breaking the Chronic Pain Cycle

This high-frequency mode is designed to manage chronic, post-surgical, and post-traumatic pain by shutting down your pain signals within the nerve, providing lasting pain relief that is so effective that the FDA has cleared the H-Wave for use as dental anesthesia.

"Although I cannot speak for the insurance industry, it is my opinion and from personal experience that avoidance of potential drug/opiate dependency and possible addiction is a necessary mandate in the treatment of pain. Using any acceptable non-drug therapy such as H-Wave should be viewed as a necessary technique in the arsenal of treatment."
